I've played with a few of their projectors now and they're decent. Currently using their px2. I would think their standard TV options should be decent as well.Hisense
It's all personal preference as my eyes aren't your eyes. Best idea would be find a store with a large selection and see if you can tell the difference. There should be some niche AV stores around you that have more options you find in the typical box store.Other thoughts or recommendations?
We did this yesterday with a local tv only store. Impressed with both Samsung and LG. QLED, QNED, OLED, Edgelit, Backlit, LED, mini-LED has come a LONG way over 17 years. OLED is great, but more expensive. Thinking more about the others and backlighting.It's all personal preference as my eyes aren't your eyes.

You can even find a pretty good stock at WM these days. Or go my route and get a PJ and adjust size as needed if you have enough shade in the room you're using it in. Just add a streamer stick to it unless you find one with it built in. The nice ting about the PJ option is the screen size adjustment just by moving them closer / farther away from the wall. I can do a typical size with just inches away or I can pull it back further and fill the whole wall to the ceiling. I didn't bother with a "screen" and just point it at the wall but, there might be some better daytime performance with a screen that deflects ambient light.
Good suggestions. We have a Roku stick we use. Even as old as our Sony is, it still came with some built in streaming services. Obviously the Roku provides more. Now that TVs do it, Roku may be obsolete, but we have it if needed.Samsung over Hisense EVERY TIME it fits in the budget. Hisense uses lower build quality and buggy firmware that they don't fix especially if it's android OS on their budget lines of TVs. At the same time, while Samsung Tizen OS is very popular due to how popular Samsung TVs are, it does not have the universal app support that Android OS TVs have, so if you want an Android TV, pick a major brand, not Hisense.
I'd sooner just get the Samsung if these are the choices then if you need full android support, get an android HDMI dongle to run those if the day comes that you find apps you need that won't run on Tizen. Most people won't care but the Samsungs also come with Samsung TV Plus feature which is hundreds of B-list channels that stream for free, and is integrated reasonably well with the remote so not as much wading through menus to use. On the other hand, their budget TVs have pretty pedestrian remotes if you are picky about that.

Might be overkill for brightness but, I've been trying to source a panel for a laptop using this because well it would work better in sunlight. They tend to be 3x brighter than a traditional laptop screen but not as much compared to a TV. However with more dimming zones could be a great option.mini-LED
I know offtopic but I have a TCL phone. It's decent for the price I paid.I don't know about TCL anymore.
Funny thing, my 43 inch LG lasted exactly 12 months and a week or something, outside the warranty period. I think quite a few corners are cut in these 43 inchers. My issue was a failed mobo which they wanted more than half the price of the TV to replace so gave it to some guy I knew. Maybe he got it fixed on the cheap? Didn't hear about it afterwards.I replaced it with a 43"TCL 4k in 2022, which lasted 14 months.
I just got a 360Hz Samsung 27 inch monitor. Feelings are mixed. While I love the deeper colors of the OLED, the brightness is definitely lower than the previous Gawfolk VA panel monitor I was using. "Infinite" contrast with lower brightness kinda making it seem like a downgrade, despite costing almost 8 times as much. I guess it would pay off in HDR and high fps smoothness?My Samsung was the best of all the flat screens I've had.
